A Result of Title Worship.

The fact stated in the foreign dis
patches that eight suspicious husbands
have employed detectives to watch the
Duke of Marlborough during his pres
ence in London, throws another reflec-
tor full of light upon the state of "up-
per class society in England.
This bald-headed scapegrace, scion OF
one of the Oldest and most powerful
families in England, is not, in himself.
a very attractive or accomplished per-
son. We're he a plain citizen, the jeal-
GUS husbands of even the giddiest wives
in London would have no occasion to
employ extraordinary precautions to
protect their homes against him. 1t is
the mobile dukes" name and title that
attract the silly butterflies Of fashion
a survival of the feeling that woman
hood is honored instead of degraded by
the Partially Of dissolute princes.
There is a comical side to the picture
suggested by the eight detectives dog
ging the steps Of a biase little roue OF a
duke, but the moral which 1t points for
this country is that enforced by the
scandalous trial with which he has been
connected-that the aping Of English
fashions and customs is a very weak
and dangerous business for Americans.
Emerson said of the old country: Our
politics threaten her: her manners
threaten us 1t would be a dreadful
revenge for the introduction Of democ-
racy in England to have her corrupt
a~ristocracy initiated in this country.
Surely the n of the Campbell
and Marlborough set are such as should
bring disrepute rather than distinction
upon American Anglomaniacs. -Nev

The largest diamond known is tina,
of the 'Rajah of NATHAN in Borneo.
1t was found on the island about twenty
years ago, and weighs 1857 c%arats; it is
n pearl shaped stone, with a small hole
or %crevice at its short end.
Great Mogul"-The diamond known
under this name has received an
amount of attention beyond any other.
Under the name of the "Kohinoor"
(mountain of light it played an inn
portant part in the exhibition of 1851.
The history of this stone dates back to
So B. c.; but there is nothing known
with certainty about 1t until the
beginning of the fourteenth century.
After the annexation Of the Punjab by
the English government it came into
the possession of the queen OF England
on June 8, 1850. Its weight then was
1856 Lie carats. of an irregular egg-like
shape, and valued at 800, 900. 1t was
then reduced to LOG 1-6 carats, and
made into a regular cut brilliant.
The "Orloff," or Amsterdam dia-
mond, weighs 1894 carats, and is set
in the top of the Russian imperial
scepter. 1t is of pure water, but not
cut to advantage. II was bought by
Catherine II. in the year 1875 of Shat
ras, In Amsterdam, for $3.50, 600, giving
him at the same time n title and a pen
| sion of $40, 900 for life.
The diamond well-known under the
name of the ''shah" was given to the
emperor of Russia by Prince Cosroes,
younger brother of the Able Mira,
when he was in ST. Petersburg. IL
Weighs only 20 %carats, but is perfectly
pure, without n flaw or cloud, and it is
interesting inasmuch as II Is only partly
| cut, many OF its natural surfaces being
preserved. The cut facets contain Per-
sian Inscriptions, and there is a little
groove around the top of it to which a
cord was fastened, in order that it might
be worn about the neck.
One of the most perfect brilliants Ii
the celebrated Pitt, or Regent, which il

fifteenth century. Il was sold by
Napoleon to the emperor Of Russia foa

would almost appear as though our
author had really missed the character
istic sword law altogether, since he
infinitely describes the mouth, which
by the way, is by no means-deep, and
dismisses the jaw by naming it a point

These, however, were the days OF
Imagination in zoology. This same
CLAUS Magnus delights to tell us of the
kraken, that giant cuttlefsh which,
accustomed to disport itself off the
coast of Norway, was figured the size
of an island, created whirlpools, drew
ships down to destruction and other
wise m~isconducted itself in the deep.
In these days, also, another animal
appears to have been somewhat con-
fused in identity with the swordfish
itself. This was the narwhal, which
of course is perfectly well known as a
member of the whale family. The mar
whal enjoys the reputation of possess
ing the longest tooth in the world,
since this organ grows to form a
twisted ivory pole, which may oc-
cassionally attain a length of nine or
ten feet. Thus armed, the animal
would seem to present a much more
formidable front than the sword-fish
itself. But by all accounts the sea-uni-
corn is a relatively quiet and peace
able creature, by no means given TO
attack anything or anybody save, per-
chance, as Darwin tells us, to engage
in occasional combats with its own
rivals and with its own kith and kin.
As far as our information extends, we
fail to discover any instance Of a mar
whal using his long tooth to probe the
timbers of a ship. In olden times the
tooth was much valued as q remedy
against poison; a virtue, by the way.

unicorn was likewise believed to pos
sess. Baffin. ofBa1in's Bay fame, wrote
of this animal. that sit being a
great fish, having a long horn or bone
growing forth of its forehead or nostril,
such as Sir Martin Frobisher, in his
second voyage found one, in divers
places we saw them, which, if the horn
be of any good value no doubt but
many of them may be killed" In
Hakluyt's Travels" Frobisher him
self describing the narwhal, speaks of
it as having lin his nose a horne
streight and torquet, of length two
yards lacking two ynches." He then
proceeds to test his presumably medi-
cinal powers. Being broken in the
top, here we might perceive it hollow,
into the which some of our sailors, put
ting spiders, they presently died."
Wisely, perhaps, for the credit of his
own narrative, Sir Martin adds that he
saw not the trial hereof, but il was
reported unto me of a truth; by the
virtue whereof we supposed it to be the
sea nicorne." This was rather a c+
rious fashion of Judging the character
of an animal by the effects of its horn
upon innocent spiders, and the tale
smacks somewhat Of the CLAUS Magnus
type after all. The sword-fsh and the
narwhal, however, are well known to
modern biologists, and the former
must be added to the list of occasional
perils which threaten the welfare Of
those who travel by sea.-London

MISERY'S CLIMAX.
Terrible Tale of Suffering From the Val.
Icy Of Yellow River, China.


Icy of Yellow River, China. ,
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 15.-The steam
ship City of Sydney arrived this afternoon
from Hong Kong and Yokahoma. Chinese
papers give details of disaster occasioned
by the Yellow river overflowing its banks
in the province of Honau and describes it
as one Of the most appalling occurrences
in loss of life and property recorded in re-
cent times. The river broke its banks on
the evening of September 28th southwest
of the city of Ching Chow and not only
completely inundated that city, but also
ten other populous cities. The whole area
is now raging sea ten to thirty feet deep
where it was once densely populated and
rich plain. The former bed of the Yellow
river is now dry and the present lake was
the bed OF the river centuries ago. The
loss of life is incalculable and the state
ment is made by missionaries that mill
ions of Chinese are homeless and starving.
Thomas Patton, one of the American mis-
sionaries, writing from the POncau prov
ince under date Of October 28th says: "The
newly gathered crops, houses and trees are
all swept away, involving fearful loss of
life. Bread, Bread is the cry of thou
sands who are on the river bank. Benevo-
lent people 60 in boats and throw bread
among the masses here and there, but it is
nothing compared with the requirements
The mass of people is still being increased
by continual arrivals more hungry than
the last. There they sit stunned, hungry
and detected, without rag to wear OF
morsel of food. Mat huts are being
erected for them. What it will be in two
months l cannot conceive. The misery is
increased owing to the bitter cold
weather."

THE FARMERS,
Meeting of the Farmers Alliance and Hor

Meeting of the Farmers Alliance and Hor-
ticultural Society at Huron.
HURON, OAK, Dec. 14.-But little was
done by the Farmers Alliance this morn
ing besides concluding the reports from
local alliances begun last night The re-
port of the committee on hail insurance
was presented and few minor changes
in the bylaws were made. A proposition
to change the rates of insurance on grain
was presented and the word cyclone was
stricken out entirely. A new class was
added whereby grain in shock can be in
sured at a cost OF not over 10 cents an acre
and standing grain at not over 15 cents an
noon to hear reports of the purchasing
agent.
Tonight the Farmers Alliance and the
horticultural society listened to addresses
by Professor Keffer and President Nc
South Of the Brookings Agricultural col
lege. The horticultural society elected
officers as follows: sl
President-E. DeBell, Sioux Falls.
ce-president-E. N. Whitney, Esmond .

HURON, OAK, Dec. 15.-The Farmers
Alliance devoted the forenoon to the con-
sideration of the bill of l.. J. Conklin of the

ANARCHY IN FRANCE.
NJ. Ferry Fired Upon by a Man Named
Berckein, One Shot TAX

A Desperate Scheme to Assassinate
Both N. Ferry and N.
Goblet.
The A ssassin Arrested,

PARIS, Dec. 10.-A dastardly attempt
has just been made upon the life of NJ.
Jules Ferry. While walking in the lobby
of the chamber of deputies three shots
from a revolver were fired at him by a man
the hall of the chamber of deputies and
asked to see M. Ferry and NJ. Goblet. M.
Goblet did not respond to Aubertins re-
quest for an interview, but M. Ferry did.
On his appearance Aubertin drew a re-
voiver and fired three times at him. 1t is
reported that one Of the balls struck M.
Ferry in the chest. The wound, however.
able to proceed to hospital supported by
friends. In reply to inquiries by friends
as to the severity of his wound he re-
sponded: ut is nothing" Aubertin has
been arrested.
LATER PARTICULARS.
NJ. Ferry's wounds are of the slightest
character. The real name of his assailant
is Berckein. He is twenty years of age.
He states that he is one of band of twenty
revolutionists. The band drew lots and it
fell to him to commit the crime. Berckein
declares that he swOre to kill NJ. Ferry.
After his injuries had been attended to at
the hospital M. Ferry returned to his home
on foot A bulletin issued by DR.. Trelat

HE HAD A CONFEDERATE.
Berckein, NJ. Ferry's assailant, is native
of Rombach in Moselle. When he made
the attack on NJ. Ferry he was accompa-
MED by an accOmpIice who was to have
Shot NJ. Gablet, but who funked, giving as
his reason that his revolver dropped to the
floor. When Berckein was searched by
the police paper was found on him
which indicated that he and his confede-
rates had drawn lots yesterday to decide
who should do the shooting. The paper
ends death to intriguers. Our path is
marked out to form an intelligent, disin-
terested and patriotic ministry. So be it,
CONTENTION AMONG PART1zANs.
In consequence of attempts upon the life
of M. Ferry there were many heated quar-.
rels in the lobby of the chamber of depu-
ties between m"derates and radicals. NJ
Rouvier joined in the discussion, accusing
the radicals of provoking weak minded
persons to deeds of violence. Several
scuffles ensued and it is expected they will
lead to duels.

states divided by the seventh standard
parallel and will introduce bill to that
effect. He says Dakota republicans are for
protection. but want cheap( coal and
cheaper sugar. He believes that republi-
cans should stand together for the division
and admission of the territory and thinks
he can eventually win. Groat Of Vermont
who was on the territories committee in
the forty seventh congress, says the great

publicans was the failure to divide Dakota

until the republicans again control the

ments of gentlemen who are well posted il
appears that there is being secretly organ
lied an immense scheme to raid Oklahoma
in the spring. This movement extends
over two or three states, the argument
being that the way to open the Indian ter
rit0ry to settlement is to open it. They say
that hundred thousand men will 20 into
the territory at given time and that the
government has not enough troops TO keep
them out. One OF the leaders of the scheme
lives here and says they mean business
from now on.
